Ben Sachs
Once the special effects take over, Berg has little room to assert his personality (or tell a story, for that matter), and the movie feels like a chore.
Christopher Orr
Battleship is substantially less awful than it could have been. And for me, that may have been the biggest disappointment of all.
Peter Rainer
If the movie is anything like the game, I say stay at home and read a good book (or graphic novel). Or listen to an audiobook - In short, do anything else.
Richard Roeper
Big loud stupid dopey shameless cliched overbearing and did I mention stupid?
Adam Litovitz
One can be sure that heroic characters get what they want, bond with enemies, and earn respect.
Tom Long
"Battleship" doesn't sink, really. It just sits there booming endlessly as you look on aghast.

It makes "Top Gun" look like the work of Orson Welles. At least the Tom Cruise movie remembered to cast actual actors.
User reviews
Took Too Long to Get Going... Once the action started the movie was great...It was the 45 - 60 minutes it took to get there that was the problem. Pleasantly surprising Rihanna wasn't a bad actress. I'd say this movie deserves a solid C+. If there's something better to rent go for it. If not, this isn't too bad a way to spend $4.
Still a good movie! I enjoyed this movie more than I thought I would. The special effects were top notch. There were some elements for a couple of back stories that I thought could have been fleshed out in stories on the DVD, but there wasn`t any extra material on the DVD. That part was disappointing. But the movie was enjoyable.
How does this movie exist? Not sure how this movie exists but it does and I just wasted 2 hours of my life watching it. The acting is not very good on anyone's part. Liam Neeson pretty much phones this one in. Taylor Kitsch's character is not likeable at any point and he gets way too many passes by all of the other characters when in real life, a joker like this would be dismissed by all. His brother in the film over does the "be all you can be" speeches. Everyone else is pretty much along for the paycheck. The one memorable performance is Gregory D. Gadson as Lieutenant Colonel Mick Canales. Also, these are probably the first aliens in movie history that fly across space and then land on a planet in vehicles that can only maneuver in water. Wait until this is like 99 cents if you really really want to see it.

Wow I enjoyed this movie Both my wife and I have watched Battleship over a dozen times. If is full of action. Sure the movie is full of holes but tell me of a movie that isn't. The movie is fast paced with a lot of blow them up scenes. I remember playing the game Battleship and it was just as random. I think the special effects were great. I go to a movie to be entertained and that is what I got. I liked it so much my wife bought the CD so I can watch whenever I feel the need to but just be excited with the out of the box action scenes.
Good movie This is good movie I really liked it the only bad thing is the acting is cheesy at times its a good movie.Its a good 1 time movie and maybe a buy
Great Movie, tons of Action and things blow up! Great special effects, Good Plot with lots of explosions. Love how the bring the Vets back. If you like action then you definitely like Battleship!
Okay flick Funny at times, slow at times, good and bad. If you watch it for realism you'll hate it. If you just want to smile and enjoy a cheesy action flick you should like it. Glad it came down in price. I refuse to pay more than this for a google rental no matter the ratings.
Terrible .. Went to see this in theater..and was disappointed, bad acting especially Rihanna..she needs to stay at singing.. CG effects were bad quality, they need to come out with better scripted movies..now a days it's all about CG effects..not the story..which is a joke..Movies like this are too over rated..with to much hype..just like the recent transformers movie which was garbage..
Holds itself back. The action, effects are superior, no questioning that. The aliens were extremely well done & made to be very realistic as was their technology. The problem with the film is it holds itself back. To much time is wasted between the first few minutes & the aliens showing up. More time should have been given to the aliens & the battle that ensues. Movie wraps up way to quickly & easily. Its like they wasted so much time with the BS background partial character development, that they had to rush the rest.
Amazing! Everyone I know loved this movie!I dont know what you haters expected...This movie was awesome! Was full of action and suspence. I laughed and even cried.. I loved it! Very entertaining!
Great movie I hate people who say a movie is unrealistic! It's a MOVIE! I'm sure these people loved avengers or the batman movies and the are just as unrealistic as any, so shut up about movies being unrealistic
Awesome To the people who rated bad stfu you over analyze every little detail if one little thing in movie iss not to your standard than to you the whole movie sucked..I dont care for the plot etc I dont over analyze if its good entertaining full of action regardless of the actor's ill enjoy and watch

Battleship review This movie was more than fantastic, it blew my mind. It was exceptional enthusiastic and courageous. It turned Hopper the no good man into the most brilliant lieutenant. He saved the world front Extra Terrestrials, but we all know there was more than Hopper who saved the day. His crew who stood by him even if his ideas were absolutely ludicrous, and a girlfriend who was exceptional brave.
Don't listen to the critics, Battleship is an awesome movie!! This movie which is based on a science fiction book is a story that you either love it or hate it, quite frankly I happen to love it. If you like sci-fi, action, adventure, drama thrillers then this is the movie for you, especially if you have any nautical interest. Great footage of US Navy ships past & present. It is definitely worth watching, even for the humorous aspect. I thought it was very entertaining, oh yeah!
Another garbage, cookie-cutter "block-buster" $6.99!!?!? NETFLIX SELL FOR $4.99??!!!?? THIS IS DISGUSTING -- THE GREATEST HUMAN TRAGEDY OF OUR LIFETIME. GOOGLE YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF. I AM REPORTINGYOU TO UN SECURITY COUNCIL FOR HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATION ENJOY YOUR WAR CRIME TRIBUNAL U GREEDYS
I saw it in theaters... IT WAS AMAZING! Although I don't think people quite understand what's going on.First of all,It is action adventure.Not Sci fi.Get over it.Next thing,Of course effects are going to be better than acting! Its the 20 First century! Graphic tech gets better every day! I honestly don't see any decency in your cheesy 80's prerecorded\crappy sound FX/GFX. I have respect for 90's movies,and I've even watched movies from the 60's with better acting than most of your BS 80's movies though.But that's just my thoughts.
Surprisingly good .. But looses one star for unnecessary length (beginning could easily be 10 mins shorter) and just a few too many transformers sounds and f/x - Bay must have felt lazy when he made this. Solid action, decent f/x and great sound. Obviously, don't expect great writing, dialogue or acting... Do expect to be entertained though.
I did try! And I was like I was there in the movie, I never act like this b4 like crazy but its good :-) I'm using my Galaxy Nexus. I did try $6.99 and I enjoyed it and I decided to be fan now to Rihanna, Thank You! Google & people made the movie. I wish we could be action like that in real life,saving our planet. Its just wonderful. let's go back to Rihanna part,b4 she was keep singing but this movie looks different the way I feel,and the way I believed & the way she act .Sometimes life is too short so I decided to rent $6.99 & I can't wait, I have alot things to take & to enjoy my lifestyle.aaww oh Yeahhh
Sour This movie was badly put together, bad writing, bad acting, boredom galore!! Plus this movie seemed like it was it was fulled with ego-mania-over-done testosterone!! Save your money!
